Hello all,how's my wonderful family doing this week? I just got done with a baptism. It went well. I just hope I stay here to see the rest of the family baptised. A family of like 30 people. Ya, an amazing family. I love it. Well today is a holiday here so I thought the internet wasn´t going to be open, so I'm glad that it ended up being open. Transfers are coming up in a week or so. I don´t want to leave this area now that we are doing well. The companionship is better but well go our ways this transfer. We had an argument today because he unplugs the fridge every night. How does the food stay good when it's warm. I dunno but it is all good now. I took his bed apart today because he likes to sleep on the floor. He's never had a bed so why not continue that way. Things are great, I'm feeling good with another young man in the church now. We have been having some struggles with the ward they don't do much to help. We had a service project on Friday and the only people there were 4 missionaries and one guy from the ward. Ya, we worked all day 10-930 putting a roof on a house. It went well. We went back today and finished the roof over the bathroom. Some of my recent converts are struggling alot. They are single moms with little ones and no one wants to help them. gggrrrr. Here come the elders to lift them up again. At times it can be frustrating, this here work, but in the end well worth it. I am doing great though. I never told you all because you worry, but i hurt my knee a good time ago and my area is full of hills. I have been using a brace for a few weeks to see if it gets better soon. Sis Johnson just recommends tylenol and coke. Blah what kind of meds are those? I don´t drink coke. Well don't worry, I'm pushing along and making my knee work itself back to health. The times are short, you just can´t stop working. Lets get some more families in the church. Well I'm running out of time, so I'm going keep it like it is. I love you all and am praying for each one of you. Thanks so much for all you do for me. MUAH!!! ELDER RAPP

mais um‏Hey, I never told y'all about the temple. It went well, as usual. It took up our whole p-day and didn´t give us time to work. Bummer but it was great. I wish I could go more often. I really took for granted the opportunity I had to go before I left. But hey there is always room to improve. The hat and gloves, I haven´t found yet, but don´t worry it's not cold yet. Well for me it not so I'll get em soon. Love you, xoxo. Tell my cute little niece she needs to send uncle Jakey some picture that she likes to draw. It's been a while since she sent one. Pics of the fam would be great as well as the album is a bit empty. Love you, ELDER RAPP

Elder Rapp's Address

Elder Rapp's favorite scripture

Ether 12:27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble: and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.
